The Alpha Site is the name of my home page whilst it is being updated. Each time I revise it the new edition is temporarily dubbed this.
To Do
-
Update blog to latest version.
-
See if there's an image uploader in the latest b2e. Really want an uploader that auto-creates thumbnails.
-
Update CV page.
-
Update CV downloads.
-
Remove landing page, go straight to the news page instead. Just do a permanant redirect.
-
See if there's a spell checker for the blog.
-
Add a "tick here to be notified of changes/comments" option to the blog so people can see what's going on after they've posted.
-
Add a proper contact form to the contacts page. It's lame getting people to post there since I don't seem to get email notifications when they do. and well, it's just lame anyhow. Maybe use the contact form from the blog system.
-
Get blog email notifications working again.
-
Get wiki email notifications working again so I can tell when someone makes a comment on a page.
-
See about relaxing restrictions on the blog system. People should be able to post links. All comments go into the moderation queue anyhow so it's up to me to remove shitty posts.
-
Change the top section so that the logo is Flash but leave the main nav as purely non Flash. That way it's easy to right click and open pages in new tabs.
-
Add a random animation to the logo since the landing page is scrapped.
-
Fix broken filters in the blog.
-
Implement the blog optimisations recommended here[link2].
- Create custom error pages. It just looks cooler than the browsers default crap. Can just have a single page for all errors.
- Go through all past projects and update descriptions, repair dead links etc. Maybe add images to some.
- Remove dead projects from the projects page.
-
Better code highlighting in blog.
-
Fix sitemaps.
